Software Archeologist & Coding Architect in Frankfurt 馃嚛馃嚜馃嚞馃嚙

As Head of Software Archeology at MaibornWolff, I help organisations understand, mend, and evolve software systems so they regain options and realise early and continuous returns on investment.

Over the past decade I have consulted on or led multiple such modernisation projects, and share practical lessons from this work through articles, interviews and international conference talks.

To do so, I ride the architect elevator: connecting users, development engine, operations outlook and executive penthouse through systems thinking, user-centered design and many, many forms of problem mapping. Down in the engine room, that means hexagonal architectures, TestDSLs, hypermedia APIs as well as expressive and unambiguous modelling of the domain as code.
